Oleksandr Tkachenko shared his frustration about the "offensive" way in which Petra, a Ukrainian character, is portrayed in season 2 of the show, which debuted on Netflix in December.
The latest season kicks off with American executive Emily (Lily Collins) juggling the fallout of sleeping with her friend's boyfriend, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), the demands of her job in Paris -- and the cultural barriers that exist between herself and her Parisian colleagues.
To help with her assimilation, the Chicago native signs up to a beginners' French class, where she meets Petra, played by Daria Panchenko.
However, Petra makes a bad impression on Emily when she unapologetically steals clothes from a local mall and encourages her to do the same, before sprinting off onto the streets of Paris.
